This is such a throwaway fight. I get it though, having exhausted all of his shots vs Volk for the title and having already derailed two young top contenders in Allen and Yair, what is there for Max? For the sake of the division he should not fight a guy like Topuria or Evloev, besides a fight with someone like Giga or Zombie for fun there isn't really any moves for him left at 145lbs.
I was serious about Max considering going to a different promotion, go fight Patricio or Movlid Khaybulaev in Bellator or the PFL. Otherwise it's 155 and I don't think Max is well suited for going up in weight.
